Boynton Beach says it has required permits for garage sales for three decades, but most people didn’t bother to obtain them. It also says the process ties up city clerks for so long that, at $5 a permit, the city loses money. And it cant find a case of anyoen being cited for having a sale without a permit,

So commissioners on Tuesday tentatively approved holding off for a year. A final vote is expected at the July 2 meeting.

The city had started issuing permits in May of 1983 after getting complaints that a handful of homeowners were holding repeated sales and causing a nuisance.

At Tuesday’s meeting, commissioner Joe Casello asked if the two-a-year rule was still in place.

Yes, city development director Nancy Byrne said. She said that’s separate from the permit issue, and will be enforced the way it always has been: It’s kind of watched by the neighbors.”
